Yes. The Sequoia District's Attendance
Policy requires that students attend class regularly in order to receive
credit for that class.

Sequoia High School students will not
receive credit for a semester class if they have 12 or more absences in a
class, where 3 or more of the absences are cuts (unexcused absences).
The grade that will show is an NA if the student is passing the class.

The parent/guardian of the Sequoia student
may only appeal an NA grade. This form is in the principal's office and
must be completed by parent, signed by teacher, then approved/denied
by the principal. Credit for the course, if the student has earned a
passing grade, will be adjusted if the principal approves the appeal.

Student absences must be excused by a
guardian within 5 school days of the absence. After the 5th day the
absence becomes unexcused if it is not cleared. If the student is absent
5 (five) consecutive school days, a medical note must be provided to
excuse absences after the fifth day.

Absences can be cleared by a note or by a telephone call to the Attendance Office.

Absences will not be cleared once the 5 day
window to clear an absence has expired. They are registered as
unexcused on the student's record.

You can check your attendance online on Infinite Campus. Absences and tardies are updated daily.

Infinite Campus can be accessed by using
the link on the front page of the school website. If you are a parent or
student and have either lost your log-in information or do not know it,
you can email Ms. Annabelle Alderette at aalderette@seq.org.
